THE SOLDIERS MONUMENT.
The Executive Committee Select Mr..
Fassett's Design.

A meeting of the executive committee of
the Soldiers and Sailors Monument Associa-
ton was held yesterday noon in the studio of
Mr.. Harry B. Brown. The purpose Of the
meeting was to decide upon the design for
the monument to be erected in Market
Square. President Brown presided, and
there were twelve of the fifteen members of
the committee present. The competition
had finally narrowed down to four designs
and practically to two,-0ne presented by
the Hallowell Granite Company, and
another by Mr. f. II. Fassett of Portland.
The committee voted to adopt Mr.. Fassett's
design, with notifications to be made here
after to the satisfaction of the committee.
All of the designs were offered and consid-
cred upon the condition that If they should
not be altogether satisfactory they should be
made so.
The Halloweli Company made n very lib
eral proposition, which was seriously con-
sidered, but Mr.. Fassett's design was pre-
ferred and selected after mature delibera-
ton. 1t is hoped nevertheless that the Hal
lowell Company may construct the monu-
ment for Mr.. Fassett at their large and we'll
eqipped works.
Some criticism has been occasioned by the
fact that Mr.. Fassett, himself member of
the committee, has contributed design for
the monument. He has taken no part what
ever in the final determination of the ques-
ton. and it is only by accident that his de-
sign came before the committee. Mr.. Fas-
sett was member not only of the general
committee lut of the subcommittee on de-
sign, of which Mr.. Harry Brown is chair
man. The committee ON design voted unan-
imously that the monument should be ''arch-
itectural in character" and so instructed all
the competitors at the outset. The purpose
was to make statuary subordinate to the
mass of the monument proper, instead of
making the monument a mere pedestal for
the display Of figures When the designs
came in, none of them conformed fully to
this preliminary requirement Mr.. Fassett,
being the only architect on the sub-commit-
tee, made sketch showing what he meant
by a monument architectural in charac-
ter" This sketch was so acceptable to his
colleagues that they requested him to make
a large drawing to be submitted with others
to the general committee. The drawing ap-
proved itself to the public, when exhibited
with the others, and has now been adopted
by the committee. 1t will be modified in
some particulars but its general character is
well known to all who have taken any
special interest in the matter.
